Jamesian Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Hello, I'm interested in your thoughts on listening again to the old favorite songs of youth with the new, sonically sophisticated ears of the experienced Musician/Engineer/Producer. What kinds of things do you notice? Happy 4th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botch. Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Chicago sure used a lot of distance micing to capture the reverb. Sounds like the band was right there in the room with you. What a concept!

Philip OKeefe Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Good question... Latest thing for me is listening to old live Ella Fitzgerald stuff. I always thought she was great when I was a kid, but I'm more impressed than ever. Probably the finest jazz singer of all time, and certainly the best scat singer - bar none.

offramp Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 The real rawness of some of the Beatles' recordings. I've upped my standards; now, up yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside studios Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Mid-period Steely Dan eg Katy Lied - no fancy tricks,everything beautifully tracked,played,and mixed.The best drum sound ever.Overall fairly dry,yet lush-sounding.The benchmark.At the time,I just thought they were clever-dicks.

Jamesian Posted July 5, 2002 Author Share Posted July 5, 2002 The Beatles are a big one for me. I grew up hearing the songs on AM radio and TV, then I lost interest in them for a long time. Lately I've been going back to those '67 -'70 recordings, with good equipment and new ears, and I'm discovering all kinds of new things. I still remember the songs as I used to hear them but now there are new layers of appreciation. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
